Tech Recruiter
Job Description
Hire Fast. Hire Right. Build the Future.
At BJAK, we move fast, and we expect our hiring to keep up. We’re looking for a Technical Recruiter who’s obsessed with results, thrives in chaos, and gets the job done. You’ll be the one turning urgent headcount into hired engineers and tech leaders. If the pipeline isn’t moving, you’ll push it. If candidates go silent, you’ll bring them back. If the role is hard to fill, you’ll find a way.
This is not a coordination role. This is a builder’s role. You’ll own technical hiring from end to end, work directly with engineering and product leaders, and make sure every critical role gets filled fast and with quality.
What You’ll Do
Take full ownership of technical roles from intake to offer
Proactively source candidates across multiple platforms, communities, and channels
Monitor pipeline velocity, spot bottlenecks early, and resolve them aggressively
Push hiring teams and candidates to keep processes moving no unnecessary delays
Drive structured interviews and guide interviewers on consistency and candidate experience
Conduct thoughtful phone screens that go beyond buzzwords and test for real potential
Track pipeline movement, candidate aging, and rejection reasons with precision
Follow up relentlessly with candidates, hiring managers, and internal stakeholders
Keep hiring momentum high and outcomes clear: hired or not hired no grey zones
Deliver a fast, transparent, human-first experience to all candidates
What We’re Looking For
You are relentless - you do what it takes to get roles filled with quality
You care deeply about end results, not just activity
You’re comfortable pushing back, following up, and holding others accountable
You operate with urgency - every day without a hire is a missed opportunity
You’re resourceful - if you can’t find the perfect candidate, you find the best one available and make it work
You’re emotionally intelligent - you build trust fast with candidates and hiring managers
You’re metrics-aware - velocity, drop-off, offer rate, aging - all tracked, all optimized
You’re startup-aligned - you work fast, adapt faster, and don’t wait for permission
You’ll Thrive in This Role If You...
Take pride in closing roles, not just filling pipelines
Have a sixth sense for strong tech talent - even if their resume isn’t perfect
Don’t give up easily - you follow up, chase down, and make it happen
Enjoy being the driver of the hiring process, not the passenger
Have a strong sense of ownership - you don’t drop the ball
Are clear, concise, and persuasive in your communication
Know how to balance speed with candidate experience
The Right Fit Has...
2-4 years of experience in full-cycle recruitment, ideally in tech or high-growth environments
Proven track record of filling technical roles under pressure
Strong sourcing skills and familiarity with platforms like LinkedIn, GitHub, and Stack Overflow
Experience using ATS platforms and tracking recruitment metrics
Excellent stakeholder management and the ability to influence decisions
Resilience, ownership, and an execution-first mindset
Nice to Have
Experience hiring software engineers, AI or DevOps
Familiarity with startup or scale-up hiring environments
Regional recruitment exposure (especially Southeast Asia)
Knowledge of structured and behavioral interviewing
Our Team & Culture
We’re lean, fast, and output-obsessed. Titles don’t matter - ownership does. We move fast, iterate quickly, and focus on results. Everyone is expected to drive things forward, take responsibility, and make decisions that matter.
If you’re the type of recruiter who gets frustrated when things move slowly and would rather jump in and fix it, you’ll love it here.
